Are you interested in a position on the PTO Executive Board? We are currently accepting nominations for Secretary and Vice President. Board elections are held annually in May, and the PTO bylaws state that any member can run for the position of Secretary or Vice President. (The Treasurer and President positions must be filled by someone who has already served on the Board for at least one year prior to their nomination.) All parents and guardians of Huntington students are members of the Parent-Teacher Organization!  

To submit a nomination for the 2021-2022 Executive Board, send an email to Melissa Hidek, Office of Family Engagement Program Aide for Huntington, at mhidek@scsd.us no later than 3:00 p.m. on April 30. This email should include “PTO Board nomination” in the subject line, and the text of the email should indicate: your name and contact information, student’s grade level(s), and the position you are interested in (Secretary or Vice President). Voting for all Executive Board positions will take place at the May 13 PTO meeting (6:30 p.m. on Zoom).  

The duties of the officers are as follows: 

Vice President: Assists with organizing volunteers and events, or with other activities as needed. Attends PTO fundraisers and events as needed. Conducts meetings in the President’s absence.

Secretary: Keeps minutes of all meetings, writes letters/emails, creates flyers, and maintains a record of correspondence. Also maintains the PTO website, email account, listserve, and social media. 

The Executive Board meets regularly once a month throughout the year (in addition to the general PTO meetings), or more frequently if needed. Executive Board meetings are typically held on a weekday evening, depending on the Board members’ availability. ​

We hope to return to many of our typical activities in the 2021-2022 school year. In past years, the PTO has organized many fun events for students and families such as family dances, semi-formal dances, and Family Bingo Night. We also run fundraisers which are used to support field trips and purchase classroom supplies. All of these activities, events, and fundraisers are run by volunteers! Please consider getting involved, either on our Board or by simply attending a meeting!

​The Huntington School PTO bylaws state that nominations will be accepted for the positions of Secretary and Vice President each spring. Nominations for these two positions are currently being accepted through May 22. (Note: the PTO bylaws require that nominees to the positions of President and Treasurer must have served on the Board for at least one year prior to their nomination.) All parents and guardians of Huntington students, as well as all teachers, are members of the PTO, and any PTO member is eligible to run for an Executive Board office. 

Nominations must be returned to a representative not currently holding an elected office. The current school closure prevents us from distributing nomination forms in school. Therefore, nominations are to be made by emailing Melissa Hidek, Office of Family Engagement Program Aide for Huntington, at mhidek@scsd.us no later than 3:00 p.m. on May 22. The email should include "PTO Board nomination" in the subject line, and the body of the email should indicate: your name and contact information, student's grade level(s), and the position you are interested in. 

If more than one nomination is received for a position, a vote will be held at a later date (to be determined). Please note that all current officers intend to run again for positions on the Executive Board. The organization bylaws and current officers listing can be found on our website http://www.huntingtonschoolpto.org/about.html.

The construction team provided the latest update on the building renovation at our October 10, 2019 meeting. You can view the presentation slides here. 

The major items that are expected to be complete by December 2019 include: 

• New PA and clock system
• Basement tech classroom and restrooms
• East restrooms
• Remaining classroom flooring
• Fencing
• Roofing
• Ball field

Representatives from the district, C&S Engineers, and Turner Construction were at the April 11 PTO meeting to provide an update on the renovations at Huntington. You can view their presentation here.

Some items to note: 

• The pool is anticipated to open by May!
• We were told that the parking lot will be patched again over April break, but only as a temporary measure. The parking lot will be fully reconstructed over the summer - expect a much smoother ride in the fall!
• A lot of work is planned for this coming summer including classroom window replacements, main office and entry modifications, parking lot reconstruction, the new playground, and cafeteria renovations.

​Take a look at the presentation slides for some photos of the renovation in-progress and details on the schedule. We're all eagerly anticipating the final product!
